Catchments to Coral - Great Barrier Reef Coastal Ecosystems and species protection on Cape York

Extending from 2021 to 2023, this program will support Cape York land managers to deliver broad-ranging projects that protect catchment and coastal values including weed and feral animal management, fire management, the reduction of visitor impact, control of stock access or de-stocking unmanaged cattle, and can also include organisational capacity-building outcomes for land management groups.

1. Protect and improve the condition of significant wetlands and floodplains.
2. Protect and improve the condition of significant coastal vegetation.
3. Protect and improve the condition of nesting habitat for marine turtles.
